#New laptop

[balkanradfem]

I've gotten several asks about sending me money, or a laptop, so it's time that I reveal to you, a situation, that's been going on without your knowledge, because I kept it a secret.

So a while ago, while my laptop was breaking down and had to be glued together every week, I got a message from a woman on tumblr, telling me that she could send me a second-hand laptop, so I wouldn't have to glue mine together. I naturally rejected immediately, because it was too much of a gift, and I wouldn't be able to repay it.

But then, I spent the rest of the day thinking that it might have been a bad decision, because my laptop would be dead soon, and I had no funds to get another one, and it wasn't like I was offered money, I hate money, but I don't hate a second hand laptop. I kept thinking back on it and wishing I acted differently. So I went back to the conversation, and the woman reassured me that it wouldn't take anything away from anyone, she's a part of a charitable organization that donates used electronics and chose me to take part in a pilot scheme, because she liked my blog. I was slightly concerned that it might have been a scam because it sounded too good to be true, but the woman shared more information about it, it looked real, and my gut feeling was saying yes this is real, however unbeliveable, there might be someone out there so kind they would make sure you have access to your tumblr blog.

So I accepted the laptop. It was nerve wrecking because all my friends told me it was a scam, and the customs took hold of it and held it hostage and made it their business to tax gifted items, and while this was happening, my old laptop died, and of course I complained about it on tumblr because thats what tumblrinas do.

But, the laptop got to me. It arrived yesterday. And it works. And I love it. I'm back to having access to tumblr!

Now I'm not saying you should all accept that people on the internet wanting to send you stuff are genuine, or giving them your private information so they could send you stuff, that is... a risky situation, and in this one case,,,, it worked out,,,, in my favour. I am unbeliveably grateful for the laptop and it's the best thing ever. It's an unbeliveable story to tell, nobody believes me this happened, and I'm just over the moon over having a functional laptop. It's all in one piece! I don't have to ductape anything! The battery works! The graphics look amazing! It doesn't shut down randomly! It doesn't have parts dangling off the side! The screen can be tilted at any angle and it doesn't fall down! I can play stardew valley on it! The woman even wrote me a handwritten letter and I swooned over it.

I'm lucky to be so adored by tumblr that I'm able to get something incredible like this, only because all of you women are genuinely kind and care about having me around. Thank you for enabling this blog!

Laptop is broken I need it for work

None if the fundraisers I've done to get a new laptop in the past have worked and I've had to rely on my friends to give me their old laptops in the past to continue working online while I look for a job.

I don't know if I'll raise enough this time around either but it's an attempt.

I don't know what to do, my laptop is broken and I can't get it to work. I'm doing everything, it's a few years old so I know it needed to be replaced a while ago. But I can't afford to. I owe commissions I cannot do commissions without my computer. I don't have any device to do them on. My phone is breaking too.

If you want to help me please consider donating to any of the links below.

A decent laptop is about 300 USD or more. I'm going to get one that 300 USD. If I get more than that I will get a slightly better one. I will ask my friends as well for assistance.

Edit: Computer goal

There's news! I finally managed to get my own laptop! However, I have to get used to painting on a screen because I've never done it before… OH MY IT'S HARD. I'm trying to implement the requests as best as I can, the settings and everything else are almost finished!

Also to mention that Ramadan is starting soon, my goodness, how am I supposed to manage all of this!?

Hey guys!

Sorry for not being active for a short while, I just got my new laptop and I had to move all of my stuff from my old computer and mom's laptop to this one. I also had to install a new screen record app, which allows me to make videos for gifs. I made two Clement ones, just to test them and see how they look:

I will continue making gifs, hopefully soon!🥰🥰

I finally have a new laptop!!! And I just drew THIS with my finger on it!

Because it has a touch screen! How wild is that? And if you're thinking, "Laptops with touchscreens are nothing new," please keep in mind that my last laptop was legit ten years old. It originally came with Windows 8.1. It was that old. From my perspective, my new little baby, discount laptop is so fancy it might as well be made of magic and fairy dust.

Got me a stronger gaming laptop! Mainly for sims and Baldur’s Gate 3. Maybe I’ll even be able to play sims 3 again since I miss playing it! Just gotta wait a few more days!

And for any techy simmers, this is a good or great laptop right?

Hello, dear readers,

I got financing to get a new laptop!

Its like $67 a month for 18 months but I got a laptop I wanted instead of getting something cheap that I will have to replace in 2 years.

Only issue is it wont be there till the 25th and I can't even turn on my Surface Pro 7 anymore…

Which means writing is at a semi stand still until then but I will try to write on my cell phone and set up my new laptop asap! 💜💜💜

Gave in and made an impulsive purchase on a new laptop... it's a nice laptop but I realized too late that this doesn't have enough storage space to replace my main laptop. I've had my main laptop for 5 years now so it does feel like it's time for a upgrade.

I definitely want something that will be powerful enough to handle video editing and other performance based tasks like this. Sadly, this one I bought won't be enough for that but it's still a nice back up laptop to use for stuff like writing. This one will be easier to take with me on the go which is always a plus.
